Feast of Blessed Michael McGivney

Today, the Knights of Columbus celebrates the feast of Blessed Michael McGivney, the Order’s founder, whose legacy continues to inspire every aspect of the Knights’ work.

On August 5-7, 2025, nearly 2,000 K of C leaders and guests gathered in Washington, D.C., for the 143rd Supreme Convention to reflect on the achievements of the past year and the work that lies ahead — all in keeping with the Blessed Michael’s original vision. “After 143 years, he continues to guide the Knights of Columbus,” Supreme Knight Kelly said during his annual report. “We have come further than Father McGivney ever imagined. But we’ve only gone where Christ has called us to go. Now he’s calling us to go even further. And we are ready.”
